PRE-SAVE REVERENCE

AVAILABLE MAY 4, 2018

<p>I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play<br />
I’ve dug a shallow hole for him to sleep<br />
But I swear he just won’t answer me<br />
I call on out is he afraid, I’ll bury him down with the ones he keeps<br />
And if the devil’s listening, I’ll come for him as well<br />
If I suspect he had a hand to play<br />
And if I see his face in town, there’s room for two down underground<br />
Nothing’s gonna stop me ‘til I’m done<br />
Until I’m done<br />
Because tonight I’m killing gods<br />
It’s guilt and frustration, it’s everything between<br />
The silence and the absence hitting home<br />
Peripheral glances and the chasing of a sound<br />
I never knew I’d miss until it’s gone<br />
So ask me how I’m coping<br />
And I’ll smile and tell you “I’m just fine”<br />
While down inside I’m drowning in the fucking rain<br />
Because when everything is empty<br />
And your heart is set to cave<br />
Sometimes all you wish for is a place<br />
Is a place to place the blame<br />
Burn your heaven<br />
Flood your hell<br />
Drown you in your wishing wells<br />
Burn your heaven<br />
Flood your hell<br />
Damn you all<br />
Because tonight I’m killing gods<br />
The incendiary shock wave, scorched earth policy<br />
The devastation that only loss will leave<br />
The chants and incantations of daily rituals<br />
A subtle lapse in brutal honesty<br />
So ask me how I’m coping<br />
And I’ll smile and tell you “I’m just fine”<br />
While down inside I’m screaming ‘tiI I fucking bleed<br />
Because when everyone’s expendable<br />
And your heart can’t take the wait<br />
The last thing that you wish for is the face<br />
Is the face to face the pain<br />
Burn your heaven<br />
Flood your hell<br />
Drown you in your wishing wells<br />
Burn your heaven<br />
Flood your hell<br />
Damn you all<br />
Because tonight I’m killing gods<br />
I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play<br />
Because I just want to cut that fucker down<br />
Face me<br />
None survive<br />
The devil and god have died inside me</p>

The Void

<p>Nothing can save us, nothing between<br />
Infinite madness and the spiral of humanity<br />
Nothing controls us, nothing breeds<br />
The void awakens in the quickening of atrophy<br />
Answer no master, never the slave<br />
Carry your dreams down into the grave<br />
Every heart, like every soul<br />
Equal to break<br />
It’s alive<br />
Can you feel it taking hold again<br />
In your mind<br />
All your demons are rattling chains<br />
Welcome to a world of pain<br />
Nothing kills us, nothing seethes<br />
Extinction riding on the pale horse of destiny<br />
Nothing hates us, nothing can see<br />
Through our eyes it dives into our minds<br />
And sows its disease<br />
Answer no master, never the slave<br />
Carry your dreams down into the grave<br />
Every heart, like every soul<br />
Equal to break<br />
It’s alive<br />
Can you feel it taking hold again<br />
In your mind<br />
All your demons are rattling chains<br />
Welcome to a world of pain<br />
It’s alive, can you feel it<br />
It’s alive<br />
Can you feel it taking hold again<br />
In your mind<br />
All your demons are rattling chains<br />
Welcome to a world of pain</p>

<p>Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy<br />
Destroyer</p>
<p>We speak in lies, we speak in tongues<br />
We’ll see our damage done<br />
We live in dreams, we rest in peace<br />
Content to sleep in our chains<br />
Seven trumpets sound their discourse, nine circles of our devise<br />
Messages writ within our columns of fire<br />
No life blooms from the ashes of ire</p>
<p>But our hearts beat faster, and our heads hang low<br />
Still we kneel for the masters<br />
Filthy pigs all in a row</p>
<p>Black the sun<br />
Hide us from what we have become<br />
Black the sun<br />
Hide us from the monsters we’ve become</p>
<p>Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy</p>
<p>We’re all addicts hooked into a toxic culture<br />
Infinite growth in a finite world<br />
Empires of gold return to sand<br />
As silver tongues rust beneath the guilt of man</p>
<p>But our hearts beat weaker, and our heads now roll<br />
Still we crawl for the masters<br />
As we beg for the killing blow</p>
<p>Black the sun<br />
Hide us from what we have become<br />
Black the sun<br />
Hide us from the monsters we’ve become</p>
<p>We scar the earth to spite the sky<br />
Then burn the trees to feed our fires<br />
We are the blind leading the damned<br />
A wrecking ball<br />
In the hands of a mad man</p>
<p>Destroy, destroy<br />
Destroyer<br />
Destroy, destroy<br />
Destroyer</p>
<p>Black the sun<br />
Hide us from what we have become<br />
Black the sun<br />
Hide us from the monsters we’ve become</p>

Dying to Believe

<p>Like dragging nails through my skin</p>
<p>Strip the scar, scratch the itch<br />
Dig your nails deep, until the nerve is good and raw<br />
Pulling teeth again, to pay for all your sins<br />
The blue pill or the red, all you want are enemies</p>
<p>Feel the tension set to break<br />
We’ve swallowed more than we can take<br />
Like dragging nails through my skin</p>
<p>Die, die, dying to believe<br />
This beast you resurrected won’t break its leash<br />
We’re die, die, dying to believe<br />
That the ghost of the ills of this world will<br />
Find you where you sleep</p>
<p>We’ll find you where you sleep</p>
<p>God complex, let’s start a war<br />
Whose prayers will you answer, whose will you ignore<br />
Paint it black and torn apart<br />
Baptised in hate to the beat of a hollow heart </p>
<p>Feel the tension set to break<br />
We’ve swallowed more than we can take<br />
Like dragging nails through my skin</p>
<p>Die, die, dying to believe<br />
This beast you resurrected won’t break its leash<br />
We’re die, die, dying to believe<br />
That the ghost of the ills of this world will<br />
Find you where you sleep</p>
<p>We’ll find you where you sleep</p>
<p>Because it’s a sick fucking world in a sick fucking time<br />
Splitting at the seams as you desecrate the hive<br />
The cancer’s in your heart<br />
The poison’s in your mind<br />
Forked tongue motherfucker tell me how the hell do you sleep at night</p>
<p>How do you sleep at night</p>
<p>Dying to believe</p>
<p>Die, die, dying to believe<br />
This beast you resurrected won’t break its leash<br />
We’re die, die, dying to believe<br />
That the ghost of the ills of this world will<br />
Find you where you sleep</p>

Vice Grip

<p>A system of complete control<br />
The pressure builds<br />
It wraps its hands around your throat<br />
A constant battle<br />
A silent war of mind and soul</p>
<p>Get up, get up<br />
One life, one shot, give it all you got<br />
Get up, get up</p>
<p>Keep the flame alive</p>
<p>Hope for the hopeless<br />
A light in the darkness<br />
Hope for the hopeless<br />
A light in, a light in the dark</p>
<p>The chains set to break your soul<br />
Day by day<br />
You know the choice you have to make<br />
Freeze up and fade<br />
Or be the flame that lights the way</p>
<p>Get up, get up<br />
One life, one shot, give it all you got<br />
Get up, get up</p>
<p>Keep the flame alive</p>
<p>Hope for the hopeless<br />
A light in the darkness<br />
Hope for the hopeless<br />
You’ve got one life, one shot<br />
Give it all you got</p>
<p>Ill’s got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine<br />
This world, it’s got you in its sights</p>
<p>Rise, rise<br />
It’s all or nothing<br />
Rise, rise<br />
It’s do or die<br />
Rise</p>
<p>Get up, get up<br />
One life, one shot, give it all you got<br />
Get up, get up</p>
<p>Keep the flame alive</p>
<p>Hope for the hopeless<br />
A light in the darkness<br />
Hope for the hopeless<br />
A light in the dark<br />
We stand for the faithless and the broken<br />
Hope for the hopeless<br />
A light in, a light in the dark</p>

Crushed

<p>Brothers, my brothers<br />
Is this all that we are<br />
Sisters, my sisters<br />
We’ve been crushed by the fists of god</p>
<p>Welcome to the free world<br />
Where nothing’s as it seems<br />
Tell me, can you find a cure<br />
When you can’t see, and you can’t feel the disease<br />
Can you seek a higher truth<br />
When you’re living on your knees<br />
Where freedom grows from blood soaked soil<br />
In the lands of hypocrisy</p>
<p>Because if you can’t see the chains tell me what use is a key<br />
It’s cash, blood and oil, in the age of the refugee<br />
They’re trying to buy our minds, we ain’t selling<br />
Bang, bang, bang, hear they’re nailing down the coffins</p>
<p>Cut the strings, feel your heart start<br />
Cut the cord<br />
Crack this code of silence<br />
All our lives in the hands of tyrants</p>
<p>Crushed by the fists of god<br />
Crushed</p>
<p>We’ve been crushed by the fists of god</p>
<p>To the left I see the rats and to the right I see the snakes<br />
In my ear they’re whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate<br />
So do you buy the fear, or do you buy the lies<br />
Tell me, what will set us free<br />
Do we kneel before the crooked few<br />
Or do we bite the fucking hand that feeds</p>
<p>When death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight<br />
Rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away<br />
They fear what we know<br />
We know how they break<br />
Bang, bang, bang, drop the hammer of conscience</p>
<p>Cut the strings, feel your heart start<br />
Cut the cord<br />
Crack this code of silence<br />
All our lives</p>
<p>Crushed by the fists of god<br />
Crushed</p>
<p>We’ve been crushed by the fists of god</p>
<p>We’re just waiting for the sky to fall<br />
Yeah I’m just waiting<br />
Feels like all our lives we’ve been waiting for the sky to fall<br />
Feels like all this time we’ve been</p>
<p>Brothers, my brothers<br />
Is this all that we are<br />
Sisters, my sisters<br />
We’ve been </p>
<p>Crushed by the fists of god</p>
<p>Crushed by the fists of god<br />
Crushed</p>

Fractures

<p>The devil’s at our door</p>
<p>The Bloodwoods shiver in the glare of summers haze<br />
Dust of ancient lands breathes beneath our feet<br />
Since the dawn of time, giver of life divine<br />
Shadowed by dark ruination, looming down the line</p>
<p>The poisoned lies of narrow minds<br />
Now spread into the soul of life</p>
<p>Bitter blight fractures life<br />
This call for change won’t be too late</p>
<p>The devil’s at our door<br />
Selling fool’s gold and a miracle cure</p>
<p>Hearts of fire unite and man their barricades<br />
Truth is overwhelming and yet<br />
Hollow men still talk in vain<br />
Sowing sickness, shifting focus away<br />
Setting in stone a future we cannot sustain</p>
<p>We can’t quench our thirst on profits gained<br />
And we can’t turn back once it begins</p>
<p>Bitter blight fractures life<br />
This call for change won’t be too late</p>
<p>They poison the well and expect us to drink<br />
When the river runs dry only then<br />
Then will they see</p>
<p>You can line your pockets, but you can’t buy back your soul<br />
These gates are locked, this future is not yours to own</p>
<p>Bitter blight fractures life<br />
This call for change won’t be too late</p>

Writings on the Wall

<p>When you’re born in the dirt the only way to grow is up<br />
So we reach for the sun but it seems<br />
Every rung that you climb is another crooked line<br />
That you cross off the tally of your dreams<br />
Don’t step out of line kid, you learn it pretty fast<br />
Every face has its place in the crowd<br />
They’ll give you all the answers, so you don’t ask any questions<br />
Then they’ll march you with a smile into the ground</p>
<p>And we all go to heaven in a little row boat</p>
<p>So put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
The writing’s on the wall, this ain’t ever gonna stop<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
We’ll fight until we die, this ain’t ever gonna stop</p>
<p>This stray dog world, this sick sad place<br />
Got a belly full of maggots and disease<br />
Every apple here is rotten, every blessing is a curse<br />
Every word is a lie you best believe<br />
We take one step forward, then two steps back<br />
In a race to the bottom of the barrel<br />
They teach us how to fear<br />
They teach us how to hate<br />
Then they arm us and they march us off to hell</p>
<p>And its left, left, left right left</p>
<p>So put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
The writing’s on the wall, this ain’t ever gonna stop<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
If crawling for the scraps won’t ever be enough<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
We’ll fight until we die, this ain’t ever gonna stop</p>
<p>Because they came for our minds<br />
We said nothing<br />
They came for our hopes<br />
We said nothing<br />
They came for our souls<br />
And still we said nothing<br />
Now they’re coming for our lives<br />
So what’s it gonna take</p>
<p>What’s it gonna take</p>
<p>See how they run, see how they run</p>
<p>So put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
If clawing for the scraps won’t ever be enough<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
The writing’s on the wall, this ain’t ever gonna stop<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
If clawing for the scraps won’t ever be enough<br />
Put your hands up, put your hands up<br />
We’ll fight until we die, this ain’t ever gonna stop</p>

Bottom Feeder

<p>I’ve heard enough<br />
No more, no more<br />
You’ve had your time in the sun<br />
Keep your head down kid, your fifteen seconds are done<br />
I know it hurts, I wanted it this way<br />
All these years, I’m still the voice you can’t destroy</p>
<p>I know how this one ends<br />
Lying in the gutter spitting teeth at the sidewalk<br />
I know how this one ends<br />
So bite your tongue if you can’t tame it</p>
<p>Let’s get this straight, while you’re listening<br />
In my world you count for nothing</p>
<p>Bow<br />
You’ll be the one to<br />
Drown<br />
With the rats and the snakes<br />
Bow<br />
You’ll be the one to<br />
Drown</p>
<p>Bottom feeder</p>
<p>I’ve heard enough<br />
I’ve heard enough to know<br />
Who talks the talk, who walks the walk<br />
And who’s for fucking show<br />
I know it hurts, I know it cuts<br />
That i’m still standing<br />
I’m everything you’re fucking not</p>
<p>I know how this one ends<br />
Running from the world as your lies begin to cave<br />
I know how this one ends<br />
Your hollow words make shallow graves</p>
<p>Let’s get this straight, while you’re listening<br />
In my world you count for nothing</p>
<p>Bow<br />
You’ll be the one to<br />
Drown<br />
With the rats and the snakes<br />
Bow<br />
You’ll be the one to<br />
Drown</p>
<p>Bottom feeder</p>
<p>See I feel no guilt, like I feel no pain, like I feel the fire running through my veins<br />
You can’t draw blood when my heart beats cold<br />
And I’ll take your word like I take your name<br />
An ego lost in the valley of self disdain<br />
Pride cometh before the fall<br />
And you’ll break as I watch it all collapse</p>
<p>No mercy, No peace<br />
You can’t escape this beast</p>
<p>You can’t escape now snap your neck to this</p>
<p>No mercy<br />
No peace<br />
You fucking bottom feeder</p>

The Sound of Violence

<p>We cut our teeth on sadness<br />
We hunt our sorrows down<br />
We fought the nights so sleepless<br />
We made our beds on the cold hard ground<br />
Seasons come and go, traditions rise and fall<br />
We watch with hunter’s eyes<br />
We found the place to call our own</p>
<p>What we have, we hunt<br />
What we kill, we keep<br />
Shadows never die<br />
Darkness never breaks</p>
<p>You built your bastions of ivory and pride<br />
We see your gates, but do not knock<br />
We stay out in the wild</p>
<p>What we have, we hunt<br />
What we kill, we keep<br />
Shadows never die<br />
Darkness never breaks</p>
<p>This is the sound of violence<br />
These are the songs of war<br />
We are everything you fear<br />
And we’re clawing at the walls</p>
<p>I see a kingdom of closed minds and shallow hearts<br />
So tell me this, would you fall in line<br />
Or rip it all apart</p>
<p>What we have, we hunt<br />
What we kill, we keep<br />
Shadows never die<br />
Darkness never breaks</p>
<p>This is the sound of violence<br />
These are the songs of war<br />
We are everything you fear<br />
And we’re clawing at the walls</p>
<p>This is the hour of the wolf<br />
We’re clawing at the walls<br />
This is the hour of the wolf</p>
<p>This is the sound of violence<br />
These are the songs of war<br />
We are everything you fear<br />
And we’re clawing at the walls</p>

09.
Vicious

<p>Live, with your back to the wall<br />
The bigger they come, the harder they fall<br />
Live, with a heart made of stone<br />
Slings and arrows and broken bones</p>
<p>One by one by one by one<br />
Kings rise and fall<br />
One by one by one by one<br />
Heavy lies this crown of bones</p>
<p>Darkness behold<br />
This hell we call home</p>
<p>Live, with the eyes of the beast<br />
Never the prey, the weak or the sheep<br />
Live, with the strength to believe<br />
Dead to the world, but we’ll haunt their dreams</p>
<p>One by one by one by one<br />
Kings rise and fall<br />
One by one by one by one<br />
Heavy lies this crown of bones</p>
<p>Darkness behold<br />
This hell we call home</p>
<p>Burn it, burn it all<br />
Burn it all to ash</p>
<p>Burn it all to ashes</p>
<p>Darkness behold<br />
This hell we call home</p>

Dedicated

<p>Twelve years I’ve fought for this<br />
Twelve years, my heart still beats<br />
For the ones who’ve stood beside me<br />
Still strong<br />
You can’t break me</p>
<p>Twelve years I’ve fought for this<br />
Twelve years, my heart still beats<br />
For the ones who’ve stood beside me<br />
Through the values that define me<br />
No compromise, no surrender<br />
These beliefs, they make me whole<br />
Never the breaker, promise keeper<br />
Remains the ethic instilled in me</p>
<p>Never one to bite my tongue<br />
Never turn, never run<br />
I’ve seen with my own eyes<br />
The price of life and the cost of lies</p>
<p>You can’t shut this down<br />
I still spit fire<br />
This truth rings loud<br />
You better listen up<br />
You<br />
Can’t<br />
You can’t break me</p>
<p>Twelve years I’ve fought for this<br />
Twelve years, blood sweat and tears<br />
For my family here beside me<br />
True to the ethos held inside me</p>
<p>Life pushes hard, you push back<br />
Time makes its mark, you gotta stand the test<br />
Every dog has its day<br />
We make it count<br />
We find our own way</p>
<p>You can’t shut this down<br />
I still spit fire<br />
This truth rings loud<br />
You better listen up<br />
You<br />
Can’t<br />
You can’t break me</p>
<p>Twelve years I’ve fought for this<br />
Twelve years, my heart still beats<br />
For the ones who’ve stood beside me<br />
Still strong motherfucker so step back</p>
<p>Through blood, sweat, tears<br />
We’re still here</p>
<p>Unbreakable</p>

<p>Born of dust and stone<br />
Dead hearts, roaming a dying home<br />
Life leaves us all, white bones<br />
Upon the shores of time<br />
We are but sparks in a darkened world<br />
And yet some things were born to burn</p>
<p>The napalm in your eyes<br />
Is all my cold heart needs<br />
If you bring the matches<br />
I’ll bring the gasoline<br />
I’m the same bad news as you<br />
You’re the same kind of fucked as me<br />
I’m the same bad news as you<br />
You’re the same, you’re the same as me</p>

Old Ghost / New Regrets

<p>Forever fucked<br />
We wage a war of suffering a deceit<br />
100 thousand years of dreaming, drowned in a flood of fear and greed<br />
Precious heritage laid waste before the chainsaws snarling teeth<br />
Bleed the earth, bleed her ‘til her heart no longer beats</p>
<p>And still we wonder why<br />
As the ground beneath our feet turns to dust<br />
The air we breathe, laced with poisons<br />
A legacy of disgust<br />
A legacy of sorrow<br />
So we’re born with nothing and we die alone</p>
<p>We’re born with nothing<br />
And we die alone<br />
Regret is all we have<br />
Death is all we know</p>
<p>Forever fucked<br />
Eradicate the truths of history<br />
Train our eyes, train our minds so we no longer see the casualties<br />
Countless cultures murdered, generations stolen and deceived<br />
No guilt to bear<br />
Born to consume, to breed, to deny all that keeps us free</p>
<p>We’re born with nothing and we die alone<br />
Forever fucked</p>

Dream Run

<p>Do you remember all those nights<br />
When we stood side by side<br />
And we said, “we’ll save the goodbyes”<br />
The night is young<br />
We still have time</p>
<p>In my dreams I see it ending<br />
I see the sky descending<br />
And I let the sadness empty from my heart<br />
‘Cause in my dreams I feel I’m falling<br />
And I hear the darkness calling<br />
Don’t wake me up until the morning’s light</p>
<p>Because I’ve never felt more alive</p>
<p>Do you remember all those nights<br />
When we stood side by side<br />
And we said, “we’ll save the goodbyes”<br />
The night is young</p>
<p>Well I never want to press rewind<br />
Every mistake that lead us here<br />
I wouldn’t change for anything<br />
Dear girl, there is a world that stands between us and them<br />
See this was never about giving up, just giving in</p>
<p>Because you only live once<br />
But you spend your whole life dying<br />
So when it all comes crashing, know you’re not alone</p>
<p>We welcome death with all our sins<br />
There is no fear when this life ends</p>
<p>Do you remember</p>
<p>Do you remember all those nights<br />
When we stood side by side<br />
And we said, “we’ll save the goodbyes”<br />
The night is young<br />
We still have time </p>
<p>‘Cause I’ve never felt more alive</p>

Wild Eyes

<p>We build our dreams from the ashes of your nightmares<br />
Carry our father’s sins from the cradle to the grave<br />
We blaze our path through the darkness that you left us in<br />
Now we ride in the belly of the beast<br />
We are the diamonds that choose to stay coal<br />
A generation born to witness the end of the world</p>
<p>Against the grain<br />
Against the odds<br />
Against the world<br />
Forever the underdogs</p>
<p>We are the bastard sons<br />
We are the ones that refused to grow cold<br />
We are the thorn in your side<br />
We are the thieves in the night<br />
And we’re coming to take what’s ours</p>
<p>No regrets<br />
We inherit the sins of the fathers, now reap the vengeance</p>
<p>From the ashes of your nightmares<br />
From the cradle to the grave<br />
We blaze our path through the darkness that you left us in<br />
Now we ride in the belly of the beast<br />
We are the diamonds that choose to stay coal<br />
A generation born to witness the end of the world</p>
<p>Born to witness the end of the world</p>
<p>Viva the underdogs</p>

Dark Days

<p>What will you tell your children when they ask you “what went wrong”<br />
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost<br />
To eyes that know only a wasteland<br />
How will you justify watching the world die</p>
<p>The clock is ticking, can’t you feel our days are numbered<br />
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return<br />
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home<br />
Cast into oblivion, judgement is calling</p>
<p>Behold the pale horse<br />
This is the funeral of the Earth<br />
Behold the pale horse<br />
This is the funeral</p>
<p>The blind eye can no longer be cast<br />
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance</p>
<p>The blind eye can no longer be cast<br />
There will be no future, if we can’t learn from our mistakes<br />
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance<br />
There will be no future, if we can’t learn</p>
<p>A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy<br />
The final act, sacrifice the world’s ecology<br />
The death of beauty, the death of hope<br />
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgement is calling</p>
<p>Behold the pale horse<br />
This is the funeral of the Earth<br />
Behold the pale horse<br />
This is the funeral </p>
<p>The blind eye can no longer be cast<br />
There will be no future, if we can’t learn from our mistakes<br />
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance<br />
There will be no future, if we can’t learn</p>
<p>I can’t watch it burn</p>
<p>Behold the pale horse</p>

The River

<p>Follow your heart to the water<br />
Fill your pockets with stone<br />
Throw your arms around me<br />
Never let me go</p>
<p>You were the first, you wouldn’t be the last<br />
What the river took, we could never replace<br />
And as the pain set in so did the realisation<br />
You were never coming home<br />
For nights we lay awake<br />
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope<br />
And if love could change the course of fate<br />
These nights, we move mountains<br />
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us<br />
Shook us to the core<br />
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts</p>
<p>So follow your heart to the water<br />
Fill your pockets with stone<br />
Throw your arms around me<br />
Never let me go</p>
<p>It’s not the years in your life, it’s the life in your years</p>
<p>Old soul, so it’s said<br />
The day we lost is the day I found regret<br />
Not in the waters that embraced you<br />
But in the wake your absence left</p>
<p>Sink into me</p>
<p>Hold out your hands, sink into me<br />
Hold out your hands, I’ll take you away<br />
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world</p>
<p>Follow your heart to the water<br />
Fill your pockets with stone<br />
Throw your arms around me<br />
Never let me go</p>
<p>Never let me go</p>

Swing

<p>This soul was born for battle<br />
My heart was built for war<br />
These eyes see through the lies<br />
Filled with disgust</p>
<p>Strip back the utopian rhetoric<br />
And you’ll find a sickness at the core<br />
A septic carcass rotting out<br />
Filled with disgust</p>
<p>We are the dead<br />
Empty lives, empty heads<br />
Guilty is as guilty fucking does<br />
Filled with disgust</p>
<p>All we have to believe are the lies that they feed us<br />
All we have to choose is the right to obey</p>
<p>Pray this time will be our mark on history<br />
When the shadow games and agendas<br />
Are wiped the fuck away</p>
<p>There is no such thing as different shades of truth<br />
It’s black or white, do or die<br />
Filled with disgust</p>
<p>You tie your noose with your lies but the world keeps turning<br />
“Swing low” we cry but the world keep turning<br />
Turning without you</p>
<p>It keeps turning without you</p>
<p>‘Cause all we have to believe are the lies that they feed us<br />
Born for battle<br />
All we have to choose is the right to obey<br />
Built for war</p>
<p>This soul was born for battle<br />
My heart was built for war</p>
<p>Swing motherfuckers</p>
<p>End it</p>
<p>Built for war<br />
Built for fucking war</p>

The Slow Surrender

<p>You’ve got to fight for your life<br />
There is nothing to fear but fear itself<br />
The Devil dances in idle minds</p>
<p>Fight for your life</p>
<p>I won’t turn back now<br />
This will be no slow surrender<br />
I won’t turn back now<br />
Carpe Diem, straight for the throat</p>
<p>Conflict, the all-consuming pain<br />
Time lost will never be regained<br />
Don’t waste your breath<br />
You can’t save your strength<br />
The battle rages in the here and now<br />
See every second that you waste<br />
Is time you’ll never live again</p>
<p>Fight for your life<br />
Fight for your fucking life</p>
<p>There is a price to pay<br />
Death is a heartbeat away</p>
<p>The Devil dances in idle minds</p>
<p>Fight for your life </p>
<p>I won’t turn back now<br />
This will be no slow surrender<br />
I won’t turn back now<br />
Carpe Diem, I gotta go straight for the throat</p>
<p>The Devil dances in idle minds</p>

Atlas

<p>My life is weathered down shipwreck<br />
Splitting at the seams, held together by memories and dreams<br />
Every face I have seen, a stitch on my mind<br />
On a shadow of a dream</p>
<p>And my heart is its cargo, a worn out old thing<br />
Been dragged around this rock more times than you’d believe<br />
To the east I call home<br />
But the west, she is calling<br />
From the north, to the south<br />
Forever I’m drifting away<br />
With more hope than fear<br />
Put your head to my chest and you will hear</p>
<p>The sound of it beating<br />
Is the sound of love leaving<br />
The sound of it beating<br />
Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in</p>
<p>Flooding in<br />
It’s the sound of the emptiness flooding in</p>
<p>And my life, it aches<br />
And my heart, it breaks<br />
And I just can’t shake the feeling all I am is sinking<br />
While one thousand eyes stare back at me<br />
But the ones that I’d die for are the ones I can’t see </p>
<p>Flooding in</p>
<p>It’s the sound of the emptiness</p>

Sleight of Hand

<p>No comfort</p>
<p>Fear, in the face of the unknown<br />
Born to die in a lonely world<br />
Hostility, breeds within the void<br />
Left by the loss of understanding<br />
Hatred, the true face of ignorance<br />
Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation<br />
Knowledge controlled, power withheld<br />
In the name of one, let all blood spill</p>
<p>There is no god, that could love this world</p>
<p>I find no comfort<br />
In a life lived on my knees<br />
No comfort<br />
Devine judgement, I could never believe<br />
No comfort<br />
I could never believe</p>
<p>To live a life without regret<br />
Is it not enough<br />
To love, and to be loved</p>
<p>Nothing lasts forever<br />
Nothing lasts<br />
Superstition rules in the land of the weak</p>
<p>Fear, in the face of the unknown<br />
Born to die in a lonely world<br />
Hostility, breeds within the void<br />
Left by the loss of understanding<br />
Hatred, the true face of ignorance<br />
Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation<br />
Knowledge controlled, power withheld<br />
In the name of one, let all blood spill</p>
<p>There is no god<br />
That could love this world</p>
<p>I find no comfort</p>

Snake Oil and Holy Water

<p>You want a piece of my mind, there is no peace to find<br />
This is all of your doubt repaid in kind<br />
I am alone in crowded rooms<br />
I am a ghost in forgotten tombs<br />
Widow maker, you’re no company to keep</p>
<p>‘Cause you can fool some people, sometimes<br />
But you can’t fool the world for the rest of your life<br />
You can fool some people, sometimes<br />
But you can’t fool the world</p>
<p>Nobody notices, nobody cares<br />
The curtain falls to no one, no where<br />
Nobody notices, nobody cares<br />
As the curtain falls</p>
<p>Soulless, spineless<br />
Cut from the beggar’s cloth<br />
You fill your skull with their shit ‘til it runs from your mouth<br />
Heartless, carcass<br />
I’ve seen more life in dead men’s eyes<br />
I’ve heard more truths alone with the night</p>
<p>And I’d rather believe in nothing than believe in a fucking lie<br />
I’d sooner fail one thousand times than regret I never tried</p>
<p>‘Cause you can fool some people, sometimes<br />
But you can’t fool the world for the rest of your life<br />
You can fool some people, sometimes<br />
But you can’t fool the world</p>
<p>You can’t fool us all<br />
You howl at the world, but speak a dead language<br />
You’re selling your soul, but no one is buying<br />
You pray to your gods of fashion and industry<br />
Heads in the clouds, but you live on your fucking knees</p>
<p>Nobody notices, nobody cares<br />
The curtain falls to no one, no where<br />
Nobody notices, nobody cares<br />
As the curtain fucking falls</p>
<p>Soulless, spineless<br />
Cut from the beggar’s cloth<br />
You fill your head with their shit ‘til it runs from your mouth<br />
Heartless, carcass<br />
I’ve seen more life in dead men’s eyes<br />
I’ve heard more truths alone with the night</p>
<p>No peace to find</p>

Blue and the Grey

<p>Dear sky,<br />
Dear sky don’t cry for me, be the hope I could never reach<br />
Cold sea, please don’t let me sink<br />
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home</p>
<p>I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean<br />
I stood in the water and let my guts spill<br />
I said “You and me, we’re not so different, I see my reflection in all that you do”</p>
<p>We both keep our secrets<br />
We’re both, oh so blue<br />
My heart is full of darkness<br />
I know that yours is too</p>
<p>I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky<br />
I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside<br />
Like the sky, I will always be empty<br />
The horizon, my love, forever just out of reach</p>
<p>We both keep our secrets<br />
We’re both, oh so blue<br />
My heart is full of darkness<br />
I know that yours is too</p>
<p>Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart<br />
Loneliness was born the day I let you go<br />
I let you go</p>
<p>So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean<br />
I stand in the water and let my guts spill</p>
<p>We both keep our secrets<br />
We’re both, oh so blue<br />
My heart is full of darkness<br />
I know that yours is too</p>
<p>Dear sky,<br />
Dear sky don’t cry for me, be the hope I could never reach<br />
Cold sea, please don’t let me sink<br />
Wrap your arms around me and carry me home</p>
<p>Dear Sky</p>

<p>I’ve walked these streets a thousand times, still this world never seemed colder<br />
Compromised a thousand times to the will of malicious minds<br />
Reality never hit so fucking hard<br />
Crushed by endless desperation, endless surrender<br />
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps<br />
Is this what I have become?<br />
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps<br />
What the fuck have I become?<br />
Security, illusion for the weak<br />
Refuge, sought in routine<br />
Another gear in their fucking machine<br />
See, you can win the rat race but you’re still nothing but a fucking rat<br />
So seek that crown, because in this kingdom of fools true ignorance reigns supreme<br />
I see this city for what it is<br />
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps<br />
A monument to the depths of human misery<br />
Retrace the steps [6x]<br />
What have we become?</p>

03.
Sleepwalker

<p>Consumed<br />
I feel the rage growing inside me<br />
A fear I cannot contain<br />
At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent<br />
This city, these lifeless catacombs, our tombs they have become<br />
Buried alive at birth never to return<br />
Chained the masses, trapped and trained by vicious minds<br />
I let them tear away everything inside<br />
Strip away my humanity<br />
Fracture my identity<br />
Sacrifice my integrity<br />
Just bodies through the teeth of the combine<br />
Just bodies through the teeth of the combine<br />
At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent<br />
At war with an enemy that does not rest who will never relent<br />
Sleepwalk our lives away<br />
In search for shallow graves<br />
Sleepwalk our lives away<br />
Lost souls, lost<br />
Just bodies through the teeth of the combine. [x3]<br />
Just bodies through the teeth<br />
Consumed, do I feel the rage, growing inside me<br />
I will not contain<br />
I have come to question every truth I know<br />
Not one more step in the name of progress<br />
In the name of blind ambition<br />
Not one more step in the name of progress<br />
In the name of blind ambition<br />
How the fuck am I supposed to feel when everything I know lies broken at my feet?</p>

04.
Wreckage

<p>I am the blackest soul<br />
The child of a loveless world<br />
The wreckage left in the wake of time<br />
I am the consequence of complete collapse<br />
I am the horror you created<br />
The mind fuck you instigated<br />
I am the seed of self-destruction, the bitter taste of life’s regret<br />
Flood my lungs<br />
Pull my teeth<br />
Cross my eyes until there’s nothing left<br />
There’s nothing left<br />
Casualties to the snares of modern life<br />
Anchored by avarice, there is no further left to sink<br />
I reside in my mind’s eye, yet see no truth in a world of lies<br />
I reside in my mind’s eye<br />
We are adrift in a world of lies<br />
Flood my lungs<br />
Pull my teeth<br />
Cross my eyes until there’s nothing left<br />
I am the blackest soul<br />
The child of a loveless world<br />
I am the consequence of complete collapse<br />
I am the blackest soul</p>

05.
Deadweight

<p>This is survival<br />
This is my exile<br />
I find no solace<br />
I find no solace beneath a Godless sky<br />
Will I find shelter in the places the Sun could never find?<br />
Now behold the consequence, the aftermath of ignorance, shackled to my worthless neck<br />
Give me one reason to resist<br />
So I slip below<br />
I can’t resist the undertow<br />
I find no solace beneath a Godless sky<br />
Will I find shelter in the places the Sun could never find?<br />
Because everything’s turning black and I see no hope of turning back<br />
Cold terror grips my lungs, to let it in would be to accept defeat<br />
But what’s left to fight for?<br />
When I look inside, nothingness confronts me<br />
Vexed by the hands of time<br />
This is survival<br />
I against I<br />
What’s left inside?<br />
So I slip below<br />
I can’t resist the undertow<br />
I can’t resist<br />
No, I can feel the deadweight<br />
I can feel the deadweight of my soul dragging me from this world</p>

06.
Alone

<p>Shifting light outlines my battered form<br />
Stranger to the world, alone in my abandonment<br />
A gaining army of white horses, stark warning before the icy front<br />
The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impeding change<br />
Evening tide what do you hide, damnation or salvation?<br />
As my skin breaks the blackened surface, the cold is rising, yer all embracing<br />
Darkness, erase this lonesome place from my every existence<br />
An angry sky bares the signs, a distant violence yet to break<br />
The ocean’s travellers cry forth across the waves<br />
Lightning cracks across a vast horizon, reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore<br />
No light to guide<br />
No ties, no ties to bind<br />
Evening Tide what do you hide?<br />
To the years spent waiting on the winds of change, this is penance paid<br />
This is my penance paid, to the morning Sun, whose warmth never found this young man’s face<br />
Shifting light outlines my battered form<br />
Stranger to the world<br />
Alone<br />
Evening tide, what do you hide? Lightning cracks across a vast horizon, reaching out its hand towards an unsuspecting shore<br />
With a final effort I strike out across the swells, seeking only the answers, maybe horizons hold</p>

07.
Pressures

<p>Their voices search for me through the darkness, yet I feel desire’s cold grip upon my heart no more<br />
My solitude<br />
My shield<br />
My armour<br />
Tested with full force<br />
I have seen the face of death and I choose not to accept its form<br />
I have seen the face of death<br />
An army of demons summoned forth, upon this endless night they swam<br />
The fire in their eyes, like new Suns shire through the abyss<br />
I taste the fear<br />
I see the weakness in their eyes<br />
They cannot hide as I devour all<br />
As the mountains crack and the oceans boil, a fury-tempered heart is forged<br />
Within the flames, this current of corruption will cease<br />
I taste the fear<br />
I see the weakness in their eyes<br />
They cannot hide as I devour all<br />
An army of demons summoned forth<br />
Upon this endless night they swarm<br />
The fire in their eyes, like new Suns shine trough the abyss<br />
I have seen the face of death<br />
I have seen the face of death and I choose not to accept its form<br />
My solitude<br />
My shield<br />
My armour<br />
Tested with full force<br />
Their voices search for me through the darkness, yet I feel desire’s cold grip upon my heart no more</p>

08.
Deliver Me

<p>Deliver me<br />
From the darkest abyss, from the depths of eternal rest<br />
Grasping at the threads of sanity, only to watch them slip through my hands<br />
I see the light<br />
I see the end<br />
I see a frail hope, crushed by the weight of the world<br />
My will is broken<br />
Sinking, always sinking<br />
The sands of time forever slipping<br />
Clawing at the emptiness, but a ghost I reach towards the end<br />
Lost in darkness<br />
Lost in time<br />
Losing a grip on my fucking mind<br />
Ignorance is an easy friend but in the end it takes everything<br />
Fear, it finds me and it binds me<br />
Illuminate the planes of consciousness<br />
Fear, it finds me<br />
and it binds me<br />
But I’m lost<br />
Guilt draws me down like a stone<br />
it chokes my throat, and gnaws my bones<br />
Regret breeds a heavy heart<br />
Reality, torn in two<br />
Canonised, a life that fades before my eyes<br />
Ever faithful friend, sorrow, sets its teeth<br />
Eaten alive<br />
But I will survive<br />
I survive<br />
Fury, deliver me<br />
How can you defeat what you can’t kill?<br />
Deliver me<br />
I see the fear that twists inside<br />
Deliver me<br />
I watch the shadows fill with doubt<br />
Deliver me<br />
Fury deliver me</p>

09.
Karma

<p>Crashing to the surface<br />
My convictions lay bare before the tempest<br />
As chaos explodes around me, I find myself in the jaws of destruction<br />
Tested, by the force of the tempest<br />
Pushed, to the point of no return<br />
Losing ground<br />
Let the steel of my resolve be not bested by the sum of my fears<br />
Clarity unfolds, a moments calm in the eye of the storm<br />
Relentless, I surge onward<br />
Surfacing<br />
No regrets<br />
No second chance<br />
Nothing will hold me back<br />
Shipwrecked bones carry my seasick heart home<br />
Carry me home<br />
Tension clings to me<br />
Resistance coils inside<br />
Forcing me down, I fear nothing, into Poseidon’s arms<br />
Forcing me down, I fear nothing, I must hold on<br />
This is a strength born in misery<br />
A focus cut of this insanity<br />
I fight my way from the gates of hell<br />
I hold on<br />
A body, locked in the vice grip of conflict<br />
A mind, sharpened on the shards of disappointment<br />
And from the depths of Hell I rise<br />
From gilded cage, my spirit flies<br />
Memories of another life call me home<br />
Surfacing<br />
Shipwrecked bones<br />
carry my seasick heart home</p>

10.
Home Is for the Heartless

<p>If home is where the heart is, why do I feel so fucking heartless?<br />
The crumbling skyline cuts a vicious horizon, sinking its teeth into the cold September sky<br />
Decaying towers of steel reach with crooked spires for the heavens, like bones of the hollow chest of this town, torn wide for the scavengers<br />
Mother mercy, take my hand<br />
Follow me through this forsaken land<br />
Father time, return what’s mine<br />
The innocence you stole from these eyes<br />
Because I feel numb. For the vision burning before me is one of former glory<br />
An icon cast in the light of freer times, now writhes in a bed of lies<br />
Hope doesn’t live here<br />
Love doesn’t live here anymore<br />
Mother mercy, take my hand<br />
Follow me through this forsaken land<br />
Father time, return what’s mine<br />
The innocence you stole from these eyes<br />
Because I just feel numb</p>

11.
Hollow

<p>Lies<br />
My truth has been revealed, at the cost of everything I knew<br />
My last safe-haven falls behind me, with the self that once consumed<br />
Into the void<br />
I’m pursuing only answers<br />
I’m shedding skins and faces, past loves and bitter hatreds<br />
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass<br />
The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change<br />
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass<br />
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst<br />
So here I stand, a stranger to my newfound freedom<br />
I am a vessel<br />
I am a vessel without destination, devoid of direction<br />
No roles define m, yet conflict embraces me<br />
At the mercy if lucidity, I am adrift in a world all to real<br />
A hollow man<br />
Into the arms of eternal struggle, I must condemn my restless mind<br />
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass<br />
The failings of yesterday become the catalyst to seek my change<br />
And it has come to pass, a path set in stone now breaks like glass<br />
The failings of yesterday become my catalyst I seek the guidance gained from silence<br />
Illumination from within the darkness<br />
My council kept with the emptiness, in the heart of the unknown</p>

12.
Leviathan I

<p>But there is no silence<br />
My thoughts drowned out<br />
Screeching and grinding resonates through a hollow shell<br />
There is no great wisdom<br />
There are no answers</p>
<p>I close my eyes, but all I see is red<br />
I bite my tongue, but all I taste is blood<br />
Once again they set their traps, set their hooks, deep in my head<br />
Too naive to think these forked tongues would themselves devour</p>
<p>Show me war<br />
Show me pestilence<br />
Show me the blood red hands of retribution</p>
<p>And the abyss stares back<br />
Leviathan I</p>
<p>To break their hold, strip the flesh straight from their bones</p>
<p>Cast their limbs into the gears of the beast<br />
Bring this monstrosity to its fucking knees<br />
Eye for an eye</p>
<p>I’ll send this world blind<br />
Show me war<br />
Show me pestilence<br />
Show me the blood red hands of retribution</p>
<p>And the abyss stares back<br />
Leviathan I</p>
<p>Under a blackened Sun<br />
Beneath a hunter’s moon<br />
Seething</p>
<p>Dogs of war, they call for blood but it will not be mine</p>

13.
Set to Destroy

<p>Brothers of abandonment, sisters of despair<br />
Orphans to the watching ones above<br />
Too far removed, too far to care<br />
We are the unwanted<br />
We are the one true threat<br />
We raise our hands to this World’s throat choke away its dying breath<br />
This is the end of days, this is the end of days, this is the end of days<br />
Set to destroy<br />
Fathers to our faithless days, mothers to our twisted ways<br />
Bow your heads<br />
Fold your hands and pray<br />
Your time has come<br />
This is the end of days, this is the end of days, this is the end of days<br />
Set to destroy<br />
Your flame is faded, so sink below<br />
Rest now your heavy head upon<br />
your bed of bones<br />
Too far removed<br />
Too far to care<br />
Set to destroy</p>

<p>Virtue is lost</p>
<p>Beyond this sleek veneer<br />
Beneath the neon existence<br />
Her face is grey<br />
And everything she longs for turns to black<br />
The chemicals bring little vindication<br />
And white lines lace every vein<br />
Does she realise what she’s become?</p>
<p>But she’s not waking<br />
And She’s still failing<br />
But she’s not waking<br />
She’s still failing</p>
<p>Follow the siren’s song<br />
To face this empty cycle<br />
Searching the darkest nights<br />
Searching the silence</p>
<p>And does it make you sick?<br />
“Can you hear me, Is She Conscious?”<br />
Does it make you feel beautiful?<br />
Bloodshed under the streetlight</p>
<p>And does it make you sick?<br />
“Oh God! We’ve got a bleeder here.”<br />
Does it make you beautiful?<br />
Heartbreak under the streetlight</p>
<p>She’s lost again<br />
Adrenalin Strains Corrupted Arteries</p>
<p>Virtue is lost</p>
<p>Beyond this sleek veneer<br />
Beneath the neon existence<br />
Her face is grey<br />
And everything she longs for is pulling away</p>
<p>Follow the siren’s song<br />
To face this empty cycle<br />
Searching the darkest night<br />
Searching the silence</p>
<p>Follow the siren’s song,<br />
To face this empty cycle<br />
Searching the darkest night<br />
Searching the silence</p>
<p>Dead by first light<br />
They can’t wipe the blood from her eyes<br />
Dead by first light<br />
They can’t wipe the blood from her eyes</p>
<p>Dead by<br />
Dead by first light<br />
Dead by<br />
Dead by first light</p>

Feed Them to the Pigs

<p>This is life<br />
This is worthless<br />
Is There consequence<br />
This apathy is murderous</p>
<p>Hope is dead<br />
Buried by regret<br />
Alive for nothing<br />
And dying for even less</p>
<p>Is This the path we’ve chosen<br />
Our mind and our future left to rot</p>
<p>These lives are worth nothing<br />
Our lives worth nothing<br />
Fuck</p>
<p>As we watch our dreams turn into dust<br />
Into dust</p>
<p>On these cold sheets<br />
Beneath this hollow corpse of a life<br />
Their world casts shadows<br />
And it’s eating us alive</p>
<p>We are the working dead<br />
Haunted by the ghosts of unanswered dreams<br />
We are the flesh and the blood of a lost generation</p>
<p>The deceased and forgotten<br />
The voiceless and consumed<br />
We’re buried and broken<br />
And we’re rising against you</p>
<p>So this is life<br />
And are we so worthless?<br />
We’ve clawed our way back<br />
They can’t destroy this<br />
’cause we’ve got nothing left to lose<br />
These hate fuelled hearts keep burning<br />
We push against the grain<br />
And we won’t turn back</p>
<p>Armed to the teeth,<br />
Born from the shadows<br />
Burning for revenge</p>
<p>Revenge</p>
<p>We’re burning for revenge</p>

Carrion

<p>Carrion<br />
In a moment I’m lost<br />
Dying from the inside<br />
Her eyes take me away<br />
Tear me apart from the inside out<br />
Dead eyes speak in volumes?<br />
But our lips refuse to move<br />
Could this ever be the last time?<br />
The final time that we see this through?</p>
<p>Give me the strength to return<br />
Return the breath you’ve stolen<br />
Give me the means to reset<br />
Her heart I’ve broken again<br />
Reflection built upon sorrow<br />
We’re walking the darkest roads<br />
Within chests carved with regret</p>
<p>In a moment I’ve lost<br />
Dying from the inside<br />
Her eyes take me away<br />
Tear me apart from the inside out<br />
From the inside out<br />
The inside out</p>
<p>We’ve been running blind<br />
Now we’re falling through the cracks<br />
We’re left running<br />
We are running blind<br />
Now we’re falling<br />
Falling through the cracks</p>
<p>Back to the world of the dead<br />
Her shining eyes mark our return back<br />
To the world of the dead<br />
In a moment I’ve lost<br />
Drowning from the inside<br />
Her eyes take me away<br />
Tear me apart<br />
From the inside out</p>
<p>My love I left<br />
My heart I left<br />
With my promise to return<br />
A promise to return</p>

Five Months

<p>The night creeps through my bones with a winter’s chill, sending shivers down my spine<br />
Like cold hands across my skin<br />
Five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth<br />
Until my blood ran cold and life stood still<br />
And still I hold my breath, counting the nights I’ve stood with my heart in hand<br />
And still I hold my breath, counting the nights.<br />
Waiting for silence to break me down again<br />
If only you could see<br />
See it in my eyes how much it means<br />
Your touch, Your smile<br />
To a heart that’s beat has long since given out and given in<br />
The night opens wide, swallowing every sense<br />
Embracing me with emptiness<br />
The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life’s imitation<br />
How can we truly say that we are alive<br />
When everything I see in me is screaming<br />
How can we truly say that we are alive<br />
When everything I see in me is screaming otherwise?<br />
It’s screaming otherwise<br />
Cause five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth<br />
Until my blood ran cold and life stood still<br />
The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life’s imitation</p>

<p>Now<br />
Your heroes have fallen<br />
Championless<br />
The seas are rising</p>
<p>So torch every banner<br />
Every hope of surviving<br />
This storm is breaking<br />
Security has left you<br />
Treading water</p>
<p>Now taste the fear<br />
Taste the uncertainty</p>
<p>What will you do?<br />
When there’s nothing left for you to cling to<br />
What will you do?<br />
With your one last breathe<br />
Thrive in your emptiness</p>
<p>Burn all you love<br />
There’s no hope for the weak<br />
Our heroes have died</p>
<p>No heart<br />
No Hope</p>
<p>Face to face<br />
With the Abyss (with the Abyss)<br />
One by one they fall away<br />
And won’t be missed</p>
<p>Can you hear it?<br />
Can you hear the sound?<br />
As our broken Idols<br />
Come crashing down</p>
<p>Now taste the fear<br />
Now, taste, the, fear</p>
<p>Burn all you love<br />
There’s no hope for the weak<br />
Our Heroes have died<br />
Burn all you love<br />
There’s no hope for the weak</p>
<p>Burn all you love</p>

Moments in Oblivion

<p>There is nothing<br />
There is nothing<br />
I would not give<br />
These are the days of Calm<br />
These are the days of Calm<br />
Please understand<br />
These are the days of Calm<br />
We don’t forget<br />
We don’t forget</p>

Breaking Point

<p>Black plagues, line a fading sky<br />
A dying world stripped to the bone<br />
Intoxicated by the madness<br />
Blood weeps from open wounds</p>
<p>And still the fires rage<br />
Consumed, now chaos reigns<br />
Our pride dissolved<br />
The rise and fall<br />
The breaking point<br />
Burned and crossed</p>
<p>Lost<br />
Now immune to all the carnage<br />
We turn upon ourselves</p>
<p>Within these times of desperation<br />
We are the virus that has infected<br />
To its last</p>
<p>Nothing is sacred<br />
Nothing shall be saved<br />
No one shall be spared the horror<br />
That has yet to come</p>
<p>Destroy and discard<br />
This is all that we know</p>
<p>Blackened flesh, blistered<br />
Hangs from skeletal frames<br />
Stalking this arid wasteland<br />
Our minds immune to change</p>
<p>The shreds of morality<br />
Fall by the wayside<br />
As we are left to ponder<br />
These black box revelations</p>
<p>In these days to come<br />
In this<br />
Our final hour<br />
We will witness the true depths to which<br />
Humanity can sink</p>
<p>Humanity can sink</p>
<p>We will learn<br />
To suffer<br />
We will learn<br />
To fail<br />
And before long<br />
We will beg for the end</p>
<p>And still the fires rage<br />
Consumed, now chaos reigns<br />
Our pride dissolved<br />
The rise and fall<br />
The breaking point<br />
Burned and crossed</p>

Dead Man's Chest

<p>When your lungs collapse<br />
When your last breath fails<br />
When my reflection<br />
As faded as a sentiment</p>
<p>Convulsions constrict your flesh<br />
Into a portrait of agony<br />
Crushed<br />
Into a portrait of agony<br />
Of agony</p>
<p>This, this is cataclysmic failure<br />
As you’re looking<br />
Refuse to prevail</p>
<p>This is, this is pointless suffering<br />
How does it feel to know<br />
You brought this shit<br />
On yourself?</p>
<p>The timing of consequence<br />
Your actions have their price<br />
Oh you’ll pay for your mistakes</p>
<p>As pity grips your nerves<br />
You’ll get what you deserve<br />
Now brace yourself<br />
As all hell breaks<br />
All hell breaks loose<br />
All hell breaks loose<br />
Yeah</p>
<p>Fucked up this system<br />
Shut it down<br />
Drowned In Disease</p>
<p>Stop, cut all based upon<br />
We know all from our lamenting</p>
<p>Suffocation of a race<br />
The persistent beings<br />
Of life</p>

11.
Frostbite

<p>Vanishing points and midnight horizons<br />
Herald another night<br />
Without you by my side</p>
<p>Bring me the light<br />
Bring me the dawn<br />
Bring me another day<br />
But further, from your arms</p>
<p>And this world is frozen<br />
And my limbs so numb<br />
Feel the Frostbite<br />
Exceed all hope of coming back alive<br />
And these roads we’ve chosen<br />
Leave our hearts so numb<br />
As another day<br />
Sets in teeth<br />
Ready to strike</p>
<p>But there will be no dawn<br />
At these hours<br />
I find my mind<br />
Turns itself in circles<br />
Reigniting the worst of fears<br />
And leaving others to the cold</p>
<p>Powerless<br />
I’m afraid to lose<br />
These thoughts of you<br />
Please leave me the scars<br />
Just leave me the scars</p>
<p>Wake (Wake)<br />
These are the hours left to ghosts<br />
These are the times<br />
reason fails to reach</p>
<p>These are the places<br />
For which echoes fail to return<br />
And Solitude runs hand in hand with<br />
Disaster</p>
<p>And this world is frozen<br />
And my limbs so numb<br />
Feel the Frostbite<br />
Exceed all hope of coming back alive<br />
And these roads we’ve chosen<br />
Leave our hearts so numb<br />
So I’ll salvage what little hope I can<br />
From the sun</p>
<p>Still I’m choking on the words<br />
I should’ve said<br />
1,000 times<br />
And I’m cursing every memory<br />
And I’m holding on until<br />
There’s nothing left to save</p>
<p>Every scar<br />
Let Every scar still bare your name<br />
Every scar still bares an angel’s face<br />
An angel’s face</p>
<p>And still I chase<br />
I chase the sun</p>
<p>And still I chase<br />
I chase the sun</p>

Horizons

<p>So it begins</p>
<p>Our eyes drawn open<br />
Free from the thoughts of doubt<br />
Free from our selfish confines<br />
Our blood, restless, ceaseless<br />
With open arms we stand<br />
Before the dawn</p>
<p>The sun seems to have been rising<br />
Ever since I can recall<br />
Leaving a sense of permanence<br />
To this lying world</p>
<p>Your words not worth the air<br />
Your life not worth its weight in flesh<br />
To hope for something more<br />
To dream of substance</p>
<p>Like a million before us<br />
Waiting to die<br />
Like a billion before us<br />
Waiting to die</p>
<p>Masochistic to think<br />
This would be remembered (would be remembered)<br />
Sadistic, perpetuation<br />
Of stagnation</p>
<p>[2x]<br />
There is nothing as empty<br />
As waiting to die<br />
We’ve spent our lives<br />
Wasting as time eats us alive</p>
<p>The sun seems to have been falling<br />
Ever since I can recall<br />
The only sense<br />
Of permanence<br />
In this dying world</p>
<p>Sit back and watch<br />
As time eats us alive</p>
<p>Everyone who knew me<br />
Knew me<br />
Destined to die<br />
Die</p>
<p>The marks I left upon this world<br />
Will wash away<br />
In time</p>
<p>In time<br />
And so it ends<br />
In time<br />
It all finds an end</p>
<p>In time<br />
And so it ends<br />
In time<br />
We all find an end</p>
<p>With broken arms<br />
And hollow eyes<br />
I’ll wait to return to oblivion</p>
<p>Embrace our last<br />
Empty horizon<br />
Embrace our last<br />
Empty<br />
Horizons</p>
<p>Horizons<br />
Horizons<br />
Horizons</p>

<p>You could never be my envy<br />
You could never be my jealousy<br />
You could never be my envy<br />
You could never be my jealousy<br />
A world without you is a world I could only wish for<br />
A world without you is a world I’d fucking die for<br />
You’ve taken everything<br />
Poison and despise lay in rampant wake in the shadows you have created<br />
We’ve been left to drown in an endless tide of apathy<br />
You disgust me<br />
The guise of a true murderer<br />
Killing with a smile<br />
As your cyanide lips rip us apart<br />
Now there’ll be no forgiveness<br />
’cause this is…. this is the end’<br />
A world without you is a world I could only wish for<br />
And a world without you is a world I’d fucking die for<br />
So I’ll hold that pretty face beneath the surface<br />
Until your lungs hold nothing but the affliction you’ve created<br />
This world is wasted on your life<br />
Through evils eyes I’ve seen your soul betrayed<br />
I’ll watch you fucking drown<br />
So I’ll hold your pretty face beneath the surface<br />
Until your lungs hold nothing<br />
There’ll be no forgiveness, no forgiveness</p>

Anasasis (Xenophontis)

<p>Your warm embrace has been replaced by cold<br />
And those defiant eyes have fallen<br />
Broken by the Floor<br />
Another rain-streaked face<br />
Left alone to drown in malice<br />
And your bleeding heart can only heal so much<br />
We can’t weather this storm of longing<br />
And water cannot cleanse the blood from our past<br />
Can you hear your crying wish?<br />
Because your prayers remain… answerless<br />
Your prayers remain<br />
In sweet decay<br />
Your prayers remain<br />
In this sweet decay<br />
Your Love failed me<br />
Broken hearts and shattered dreams could never carry your fractured world<br />
So just throw it all away<br />
Your love is lost on us<br />
Just throw is all away<br />
Your love is lost on us</p>

03.
Pandora

<p>The daylight’s gone<br />
The empty streets echo our past and the days that once were so beautiful<br />
Before now<br />
Before us<br />
So save yourself<br />
‘Cause all dreams are gone<br />
And all hope has faded<br />
And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away<br />
And we smiled as we betrayed ourselves<br />
And a clear sky is only a distant memory<br />
Our worst intentions carried away on the evening breathe<br />
Everything we lived for draws our final thought around our necks<br />
Your faces lies still<br />
I can’t see your breath and it’s freezing my blood until the end<br />
One more time one more line<br />
What is this hell<br />
Reminisce to the beginning of everything<br />
But The irony alone would kill me<br />
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one<br />
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn before my eyes<br />
‘Cause all dreams are gone<br />
And all hope has faded<br />
And as sunlight fails I watch this world slip away<br />
Your face lies still<br />
I can’t see your breath and it’s freezing my blood until the end<br />
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one<br />
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn<br />
I can see our lives<br />
I can see our lives burn<br />
Your face lies still<br />
I can’t see your breath and it’s freezing my blood until the end<br />
As we just let it slip away</p>

Romance Is Dead

<p>The incisions in your wrist were all for show<br />
Just like you<br />
The epitome of self indulgence<br />
Another farce<br />
A charade and another set of crocodile tears<br />
So serenade her with your last pathetic suicide love song<br />
“Broken hearts never mend”<br />
But fools never move on<br />
And now she’s gone because of you<br />
And once again You’re the epitome of pure self destruction<br />
Cupid never found his mark<br />
As we await the insertion of blades on flesh<br />
You part the skin and tell of blades on blood<br />
So part the fucking skin<br />
To tell the blades on blood<br />
She said “I Love You”<br />
She said<br />
She said goodbye<br />
So cry me a fucking river bitch<br />
You wouldn’t know love if it crushed your fucking chest<br />
Let go<br />
You wouldn’t know love if it crushed your fucking chest<br />
“Razors, roses and a black tomorrow”<br />
They never showed any affection to anything but your ego<br />
A tragedy of errors at the best of times<br />
You are everything that’s wrong with me<br />
You’re everything that I despise<br />
You are everything I dreamed would die<br />
You are everything that fades away and slowly dies<br />
Will you bleed for me when suicide seems so yesterday?<br />
Will you bleed for me?<br />
Will you fucking bleed for me when suicide<br />
It’s so yesterday<br />
It’s all so fucking yesterday</p>

Guns for Show, Knives for a Pro

<p>I saw the disappointment from across your face<br />
A mark of solitude<br />
So here’s to giving in<br />
Your eyes have betrayed you<br />
And I’ll wear this mask of disgust for every day I’ve met you<br />
Disarm with a smile<br />
Your eyes Betrayed me<br />
String me another line as your knife severs my spine<br />
The blackness of your heart has spread beneath your skin<br />
And as your new face runs I count the seconds till you’re gone<br />
As your new face runs I count the seconds until you’re fucking gone<br />
Hold this allegiance with the hearts of apathy<br />
We cannot breathe from your choking hands<br />
Mark this hour of hopelessness with burning bodies<br />
Returning for your heart<br />
Returning for your fucking heart<br />
Murder is on the air tonight</p>

06.
Blackout

<p>Tragedy<br />
Another day lies broken and lost<br />
A shattered life cuts the pulse of acceptance<br />
And all I want is to be something more than this<br />
Another day lies broken and lost<br />
A shattered life cuts the pulse of Acceptance<br />
And all I want is to be anything but this<br />
Sleepless nights spent screaming for answers<br />
Cursing sweet venom at a wretched future<br />
An open casket stained with hope<br />
Laced with deceit and treachery<br />
An existence I only wish to forget<br />
Why do I always regret?<br />
Those words leave the taste of blood<br />
Forget my face<br />
Just bury everything<br />
Why do I always let it go?<br />
’cause I’ve let it slip away between my fingertips<br />
I’ve tried so fucking hard and still I could never gain a true understanding<br />
Chocking at our misery<br />
Splinters of failure cut like glass<br />
And I’m sick of just pouring myself out into careless hands<br />
Choking on our misery<br />
Splinters of failure cut like glass<br />
But I’ll put it to rest tonight in the hope that maybe I won’t have to wake<br />
I’ll put it all to rest tonight<br />
Forget my face</p>

07.
Picture Perfect, Pathetic

<p>If looks could kill<br />
You’d be a fucking shotgun<br />
Against my head so fucking cold<br />
Picture perfect and pathetic<br />
I would so love to hang you<br />
Cat got your tongue?<br />
Selling yourself short again?<br />
You’re selling yourself short again<br />
Bare your insecurities<br />
I want to see you cry<br />
I want to see your tears<br />
Why did you throw your heart away?<br />
Why did you let yourself down?<br />
Why did you throw your heart away<br />
Why did you let yourself down time and again<br />
Why did you throw you heart away<br />
So taste the skin and let your heartbeat slow<br />
Feel you bleeding away<br />
Lifeless<br />
Why did you let yourself down<br />
Why did you throw your heart away<br />
That cheap fucking smile carries you to bed<br />
And those lips are social suicide but I just want to see you dead<br />
You’re like a shotgun baby<br />
Pointed at my head<br />
And those lips are suicide but I just want to see you dead</p>

It's Hard to Speak Without a Tongue

<p>After everything you’ve done<br />
After your second face failed<br />
This time there’s nothing left to save<br />
And your words were broken<br />
With the touch of vipers you set your words upon my back<br />
Spitting daggers you can’t kill those already dead<br />
Buried beneath a pile of one liners and cheap attempts at honesty<br />
Buried so fucking far from your worthless lies<br />
And the fire<br />
The fire to cleanse your mouth<br />
You’ll never awake from your hell and for a second you almost had me fooled<br />
Keep walking<br />
Keep breathing<br />
Keep cursing our names<br />
We’re plotting your end by the dawn<br />
We’re apparitions that stalk your every turn<br />
We’re death incarnate to cleanse you from this world<br />
Midnight<br />
Until I see your face again<br />
Until I end this loveless dance<br />
Midnight<br />
Until I see you fucking scream<br />
And until I see the moonlight shine with your blood we’ll dig your grave<br />
We’ll dig your fucking grave<br />
Until I see your face again<br />
Until I end this loveless dance<br />
Midnight<br />
Until I see you fucking scream<br />
And until I see the moonlight shine with your blood<br />
Midnight<br />
Until I see your face again<br />
Until I end this loveless dance<br />
Midnight<br />
Until I see you fucking scream<br />
And until I see the moonlight shine red</p>

Mutiny

<p>The deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers</p>
<p>Fuck the memories<br />
We’re dead at every turn<br />
So spin your fucking shit and we’ll die with every twist of tongue<br />
Your hollow gaze has shifted past my eyes<br />
Another dead face fades away<br />
Now what’s left to take?<br />
Another day I regret your memory<br />
In my mind you will never be more than this<br />
So what’s left to fucking take?<br />
Now my trust is gone<br />
As your world comes crashing down I’m going to watch it fucking burn<br />
Everything we had lies in pieces<br />
Everything we had fucking dies… tonight<br />
Through those deceiving eyes I’ve seen the blackest heart<br />
The blackest heart<br />
Everything you love fucking dies tonight</p>

Smoke 'Em If Ya Got 'Em

<p>Die<br />
Thoughts replaced by a placid romance<br />
Without movement, I can’t escape<br />
Die<br />
Searching through the static<br />
Twisted and torn inside out<br />
Such blinding visions of destruction<br />
So I have to question<br />
Was this in the master plan?<br />
‘Cause now a broken future’s all that we hold<br />
Broken<br />
Our broken future’s all that we hold<br />
Our day draws<br />
To it’s close<br />
Dusk<br />
Washes away<br />
Integrity now bleeds away<br />
As tired hearts are left to drain<br />
Do you see their faces when you fall asleep at night?<br />
Now they’re nothing more than blood stained memories<br />
Memories<br />
Blood stained memories</p>

A Cold Day in Hell

<p>Sever<br />
And step forward<br />
I will separate myself from you<br />
I will walk this line unassisted and undeterred<br />
Sever<br />
Sever the strings<br />
I’ll cast aside your uniform<br />
Your focus shifted too much for me to not question<br />
Your sincerity<br />
To manufacture misery<br />
Everything you ever wanted<br />
Everything you ever knew<br />
Everything you ever lust for will be taken from you<br />
Your reflection<br />
Ghost of a beauty queen<br />
Plagued with fashion<br />
And stain our mouths with worthless deception<br />
You’re a plastic perfection<br />
We’ll burn you to the ground<br />
Everything you ever wanted<br />
Everything you ever knew<br />
Everything you ever lust for will be taken from you<br />
Everything you ever wanted<br />
Everything you ever knew<br />
Everything you ever lust for will be taken from your heart<br />
When did this all become so meaningless?<br />
As to your second skin<br />
Now the wolves become nothing more than sheep<br />
We set flame these apathetic trends<br />
Set flame the paths that have led us astray for too long<br />
Set flame the paths that have led us astray for the last time<br />
Burn<br />
All bets are off<br />
I’ll watch the heartless burn<br />
Tomorrow’s dawn will be alight with our burning bridges<br />
All bets are off<br />
I’ll watch the heartless burn<br />
Tomorrow dawn will be alight through seasons change I’ve watched you waste away<br />
Shed your skin and become<br />
Reach inside your chest and remove what’s left of your blackened heart<br />
Through the seasons change I’ve watched you waste away<br />
And become one with the damned<br />
You lust for<br />
Reach inside your chest and remove what’s left of your blackened heart with disdain</p>

<p>Die<br />
Thoughts replaced by a placid romance<br />
Without movement, I can’t escape<br />
Die<br />
Searching through the static<br />
Twisted and torn inside of<br />
Such blinding visions of destruction<br />
So i have to question<br />
Was this in the master plan?<br />
Now a broken future’s all that we hold<br />
Broken<br />
Our broken future is all that we hold<br />
Our day draws<br />
To it’s close<br />
Dusk<br />
Washes away<br />
Integrity now bleeds away<br />
As tired hearts are left to drain<br />
Do you see there faces when you fall asleep at night?<br />
Now they’re nothing more than blood stained memories<br />
Blood stained memories</p>

Dead Dreams

<p>Kill the lights<br />
I’m so sick of your face<br />
Another night wasted wishing you away<br />
Now I’m cut, I’m cut at the wrist<br />
But I still can’t kill the pain<br />
I’d give anything to rip you from my head<br />
From my head<br />
The return of your voice marks another failure<br />
And i can feel your blades closing on my back<br />
I’ll savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity<br />
As it clutches, tearing at my heart<br />
This is my final act of desperation<br />
One second lost gives way to disease<br />
I’d give anything to rip you from my head<br />
Cause I can feel you<br />
Creeping through me<br />
Like a sickness<br />
Your weakness<br />
Scars your fucking face<br />
Scars your name<br />
The return of your voice<br />
Marks another failure<br />
And i can feel your blades<br />
Closing on my back<br />
As light fades to past<br />
Darkness wells against me<br />
But my shattered eyelids<br />
Refuse to close<br />
Your breathe is death to me</p>

04.
Flesh, Bone and Weakness

<p>Shades drawn across<br />
No light may enter<br />
In my moment of weakness<br />
And this world is bearing down again<br />
So hard to clear my mind<br />
Why do i persist?<br />
I’ll endure another day<br />
It’s just so hard to resist<br />
And I can’t continue on<br />
So hard to clear my mind<br />
To see the thoughts I wish were true<br />
My face versus the stone<br />
And I blame myself<br />
Plague my mind with these insecure thoughts<br />
Whispers in the back of my head<br />
Telling me it’s all wrong<br />
Why do I persist?<br />
I’ll endure another day<br />
Why do I persist?<br />
As self loathing strangles me<br />
Push past the veil of helplessness<br />
Love can’t catch me, not today<br />
Take your hand and just surrender?<br />
It’s just not worth it<br />
Why do I persist?<br />
I’ll endure another day<br />
Why do I persist?<br />
Self loathing strangles me<br />
But I’ll endure another day</p>

You're Over

<p>Harmless?<br />
Don’t make me laugh<br />
Reduce yourself to a poisoned mess<br />
It’s so amazing<br />
What passes for cool these days<br />
Another trend?<br />
Or just a wish<br />
So when did it come down to this<br />
Fashion victim<br />
Takes on a whole new meaning<br />
“It’s just for fun…”<br />
Hey, I’m sure it is<br />
So tell me is that fun<br />
Convulsing on the door<br />
Open your eyes<br />
You’re walking the path to your self destruction<br />
The higher you fly, the further you fall<br />
Harmless?<br />
Don’t make me laugh<br />
I wish I had the strength<br />
To tear your eyelids off<br />
You fool<br />
You fucking fall<br />
It’s hard to fly, with wings of stone<br />
So hard to fly, with wings of stone</p>

Looks Like Yoda

<p>In a world of devoid of emancipation<br />
Like leaves too many question marks<br />
On my conscience, why?<br />
Why look up<br />
The ground is so much more pleasing<br />
And it’s where these eyes belong<br />
I renounce,<br />
I renounce myself<br />
What I have become is not<br />
What I wish to be<br />
Break my neck<br />
I’ve become too accustomed to hopes<br />
Hope’s cruel grasp<br />
Progression or regression<br />
It all ends the same<br />
In a world devoid<br />
Emotionless<br />
In a life such as this<br />
Only death is certain<br />
So why wait<br />
Break my heart<br />
Cut my throat<br />
When everything has ended<br />
What have we accomplished<br />
Slaves by design<br />
Break my neck</p>

Don't Close Your Eyes

<p>The warmth of your embrace<br />
Has lifted me from the ground<br />
The strength you’ve given me<br />
I can never truly thank you<br />
Through the darkness<br />
I found you by my side<br />
And I’ll make this promise to you<br />
I will never let you down<br />
This is for every hour<br />
This is for every second<br />
This is for every moment<br />
That we have shared together<br />
Sky blue days burn through<br />
I refuse to let our flame fade<br />
Every scar burning bright tonight<br />
I’d give my heart for you<br />
I’d give my strength for you<br />
I’d give my everything<br />
I’d give my life for you<br />
Tonight will stand as a testament to hope<br />
Every scar, burning bright<br />
I will stay by your side<br />
Don’t close your eyes<br />
Tonight we burn together<br />
My true friends, you mean the world to me<br />
Your friendship means everything<br />
Tonight will stand as a testament to hope<br />
Forever beating on</p>

<p>Gazing upon your face<br />
Your love has released my heart<br />
To drown<br />
To sleep forever<br />
In your sweet embrace<br />
If i could reach the stars I’d place them in your eyes<br />
Just to remind me of such a timeless beauty<br />
Of you<br />
Lost myself to you<br />
I could not fall again<br />
Held here by your grace<br />
I’m bound forever by this<br />
Infatuation<br />
If i could<br />
If i could reach the stars<br />
I’d place them in your eyes<br />
Just to remind me of such a timeless beauty<br />
And when tomorrow tears you from my arms<br />
I’ll pray for one last sunset for our love</p>

Hollow Man

<p>Lie<br />
No more than shadows<br />
To be forgotten<br />
Fade away in time<br />
No more than shadow’s their dreams will never come to pass<br />
Trapped by your web of ignorance<br />
Trapped by your web<br />
Your web of lies<br />
Too much pain<br />
Too much anguish already endured<br />
More fear than a person should feel in a single lifetime<br />
And they’ve come so far<br />
Given it all for this second chance<br />
One second chance at life<br />
Hollow man<br />
You’ve gone too far<br />
Secure in your safe little world<br />
You have no idea the amount of pain you cause<br />
Since when is a child a risk to your security?<br />
Your razor wire and red tape killed their dreams</p>

The Negotiator

<p>Tell me, how does it feel<br />
To watch a child bleed to death<br />
From a weapon you designed?<br />
You’ve spilt their blood<br />
Is your pride really worth this? Such a mindless slaughter<br />
Bow down to your greed<br />
Bloodshed<br />
Your lies cut their throat<br />
Such beauty<br />
Such innocence<br />
Set to self destruct<br />
As you nail their coffin shut<br />
With your hammer of hate<br />
The flesh is torn, hate remains<br />
The<br />
Flesh<br />
Is<br />
Torn<br />
They bleed<br />
Bloodshed<br />
Broken by your hand<br />
Who will bleed for you now?</p>

Hopeless

<p>Tear my heart from my chest<br />
Still warm in my hands<br />
Feel the life drain away<br />
This distance is staggering<br />
Stealing the air from my lungs<br />
Choking me where i stand<br />
Hopeless, just one last kiss<br />
You sound so close<br />
I can almost feel your breath<br />
Too close to touch the fragment of my memory<br />
Tormenting me forever<br />
Haunting me forever<br />
Stretching towards forever<br />
Each second seems like a year<br />
And this eternity is tearing me apart, tearing me apart<br />
Hopeless<br />
Victim of my own human desire<br />
Love is a demon sent to destroy me<br />
I never knew distance could kill</p>
